Packer Coaster

You should see what I'm doing now. I'm making a cutting board! This actually kind of cool. I can make just about anything and put logos and pictures in it. The Packer one is just a photo I pulled off the internet and printed it with my printer and embedded it into the polyaspartic and mica chips. My wife thinks I'm crazy, I have way too much fun sometimes

Micas are actually metallic sheet silicate minerals. Paper thin and can be cut with a knife or crushed with your fingers. The quartz on the other hand is very hard and would probably be hard on a knife blade. All of my materials are smooth surface with no exposed aggregate to damage knives. You also beat on it with a hammer and not damage it. I'm just playing with this now. I do all sorts of decorative flooring and counters tops with this material. I develop a lot of my own materials (Well my chemist does after I tell him what I want) I've also done driveways that you can drop a blade and plow snow over it! So yeah it's durable. Compressive strength on the quartz has tested out at 12500 psi Concrete is 3500-4000 psi
I'm also looking at using my UV curable coatings as a finish as it is more durable than any Epoxy or Polyaspartic out there and is totally 0 VOC's and FDA approved.
